A Sioux Falls man who was arrested alongside his sister on pimping and prostitution-related charges last year was sentenced in federal court Monday morning.

Jaquon Nathaniel Duckworth, 26, was sentenced to 19 months in prison by U.S. District Judge Karen Schreier Monday morning.

Duckworth pleaded guilty in August to transporting a person with the intent to have that person engage in prostitution or a criminal sexual activity, for which he was sentenced 24 months in prison and given credit for 11 months in custody. The sentence includes six months for violating supervised probation on a 2014 charge. Duckworth will be under five years of supervision after his release.

Duckworth was arrested in December 2017 and was initially in state court on charges of promoting prostitution, pimping, possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana, possession of paraphernalia and maintaining a place where drugs are kept. His sister Lavon Shante Jones was charged with prostitution, and possession of marijuana and paraphernalia.Duckworth is scheduled to appear in a Minnehaha County courtroom next week to enter a plea deal on the still-pending state charges, according to court proceedings Monday.

Duckworth was accused of transporting one adult female to Milwaukee from Sioux Falls for the purposes of prostitution in 2017. He arranged for two meetings, court documents say. Duckworth is originally from Milwaukee.

He told his probation officer in December 2017 he was going to visit family in Wisconsin and was going to be traveling alone, but instead had the victim in the vehicle with him, violating his supervised release. Another violation of his supervised release was the use of the internet without proper monitoring software when he used the internet to arrange the meeting. He also had a firearm in the vehicle.

Duckworth has a history of pimping and trafficking-related charges.

At the time of his arrest, Duckworth was under supervised release for a similar charge he was convicted of in 2015. He was sentenced to 10 months in federal prison for transporting for prostitution.
